Desperados Pull Out Late-Game Win, 5-4
Marcus Greene did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Tampa Bay Captains from being beaten, 5-4, to the Austin Desperados at Dell Diamond. Greene went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Austin reliever Joe McLaughlin picked up the win, upping his record to 4-1. Greg Brittingham absorbed the loss. Bob Baucke, who finished 3rd in the AC in saves with 38 last year, earned the save for Austin.

Had Matt Fishburn not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Fishburn hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Desperados.

"You get some opportunities, you better take advantage of them," said Tampa Bay manager Jalen Armour.

The last-place Desperados sport a record of 59-67.
